Sounds like the geometry needs looking at Sam

Are you scrubbing tyres ?

Had the geometry done today, - 1.40 degrees camber on the front, 0 toe, then - 1.23 degrees camber on the passenger rear and - 1.06 on the driver side rear, 0.03 toe out on the rears.

The - 1.06 was the most camber that could be had with the adjustable top mounts and the camber bolts. The 1.23 has slight more adjustablilty, just seems as if the chassis is a fraction to one side!


Thanks

the wheel offset is also contributing to this. ET 48 is newage. Classic is ET53. I know it's only 5mm but if the geometry is slightly out it takes away what little clearance there is.

I'm curious as to why the distances are different.
Given the rear camber was the same, there would still be a difference in distance between the tyres outer wall and the arch, as if to suggest the chassis is not centre on the suspension.
But i guess no car is perfect?

Thanks

Looking at the two photo's the graduation scales are offset as this bit does not move I wonder if they have been fitted to the wrong sides? An observation only.

I fitted them myself and was thinking the same thing you know, but there is no indication to what side is what! Maybe i should contact HSD.

Thanks
